All those game enthusiasts out there, prepare yourself for something grand as the second iteration for Xbox, known as Xbox 2 is all geared up for a release this year and if latest reports are to believed, we can see Xbox 2 to get a release in November this year.

Very little is known as to whether multi-million dollar company Microsoft would hold a pre-E3 show to announce Scorpio or not, which is identical to what Sony did with the PS4 Pro. The head of Xbox, Phil Spencer has already confirmed that gaming console Xbox 2 promised to be most powerful console ever created. He made this announcement at the end of E3 2016. With more and more details of the gaming console is slowly getting revealed, his statements are turning out to be true, but nothing has been officially confirmed as of now.

Xbox is a video game brand which has been created and is owned by Microsoft. It suggests a number of gaming consoles created by them. It was launched in the year 2001 in the USA. Specifications of the current console, Xbox One S, a slimmer version of Xbox One, was announced last year in June, 2016. In a post PS4 Pro world, it is very difficult to answer whether it is a next generation console or something just iterative similar to the Pro, which Sony has strongly made it clear is not the PS5. The Xbox 2 (Project Scorpio) would sport native 4K and hi-fidelity VR. It is something which just a very effective PC can offer. In a blog post, Spencer has confirmed that they would do the complete launch of Xbox 2 at E3 2017, which suggests on June 11, Sunday at 2PM PDT/5PM EDT, the specifications on the Xbox 2 will finally be known.

Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg has said that his company is working to learn from the feedbacks of Project Scorpio and if it turns out to be a success, the future of consoles will be ultimately evolved. Moreover, leaving aside VR titles, Scorpio is not planning on having any unique games. This means that the new games will also work on your earlier system. One of the most interesting elements to look forward to in Xbox 2 is the inclusion of VR solution. On the other end of the spectrum, Xbox 360 will multiply the lifespan to almost two times of its previous editions by the time it is ultimately phases out. The American multinational technology company is trying its level best to make the games as compatible as possible across different systems. All of the aforementioned points really make it very hard to say whether Project Scorpio is in fact Xbox 2 or not. Microsoft has been describing to the trio of consoles of Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox 2/Project Scorpio as Xbox Family. Therefore, it means that no gamer will be left behind. In other words, one can play it one any of the console within that family.
